I struck out. Was on right at 9PM EST and missed both. Guess I'll have to resort to ebay. I don't need both, one or the other will do. It's not like I'll have a complete set anyways - I'll eventually get the first Yoda but Grievous and the Carbonite Han rarely, if ever, show up on ebay.

Not the ending i was expecting. Good episode but I was really hoping for the book 3 cliffhanger.

Me too. Good almost great episode that would have been awesome with the cliffhanger. I was fully expecting it after this http://instagram.com/p/nEeNM0PA3L/ was posted on Lena Headey's (Cersi) instagram in April (especially after http://instagram.com/p/mVN1fdvAzU/ was posted months before the Mountain and Viper fight). I'm hoping the character makes an appearance in season 5, because let's face it, most of the shocking scenes in the book are done.

Even though i knew it was coming, WOW!!! Very awesome and gruesome visual. I had an idea about how i thought the seasonw as going to end, with the character reveal that was at the end of book 3, not sure if we will get that this season now.

I was hoping it was going to happen last season, so I'm 99% sure we're going to get it this year.

Their last two albums have been fantastic. PJ isn't one of those bands that plays the same set every night during the tour, every set list is unique. They play their 'hits' for the casual fans, stuff from their new albums, but also deep cuts from their catalog for the die hards, along with a few covers (last time I saw them we got Eruption-Aint Talking About Love and it was nuts). Highly recommend seeing them live, none of the shows I've been to hasn't disappointed.

Drogon is a beast, loved that scene with him coming out of the ravine.

Oberyn (they still haven't called him RV yet) continues to grow as a badass. Takes balls to not stand up at the small council meeting when Tywin shows ups. Compare that to Mace, who's basically Tywin's secretary.

The Iron Islanders / Dreadfort scene was a bit weird, but I know why they did it - to set up the Kingsmoot and Euron / Victorian - with Theon "dead"

And this was the first episode in the entire series with no Stark appearing.

Ramsey was there as previous Reek, so he knows the truth about Bran and Rickon. I don't think he ever told Papa, though:

From ASOIAF wiki:

Quote

Ramsay is taken as a prisoner to Winterfell in the guise of Reek. After Theon Greyjoy captures Winterfell, Ramsay exchanges a vow of service to Theon for his release.[8] He quickly becomes one of Theon's more trusted attendants, assisting Theon in his hunt to bring the escaped Bran and Rickon Stark back to Winterfell. He orchestrates Theon's cover-up of the Stark boys' escape by killing two peasant boys of an age with the Starks, and then flaying the corpses to avoid recognition. Theon presents their flayed corpses as the Starks, then has their heads mounted on spikes over the castle walls. With the approval of Theon, Ramsay kills Gelmarr, Aggar and Gynir, ironborn who knew the truth about the bodies. Theon uses the Winterfell kennelmaster Farlen as a scapegoat and has him executed for the murders. Theon contemplates killing Reek too, but thinks better of it, fearing the servant had written and hidden an account of the truth.

Loved last night's episode. As a book reader (but not a book purist. Those guys are ********), I loved being surprised for once. And since Bran has only like 2.5 chapters left from where we are to where he ends up in ADWD as a tree, I'm ok with them slowing things down and having them show me more.

I had the biggest **** eating grin when that was all going down (I knew what was coming) and was trying to hide it from my wife. She was more shocked by Joffrey's death (she expected him to die at some point, just not at the wedding and like that) than the Red Wedding.

Loved the way they did the dwarfs, slightly different from the books, but effective.

I'm thinking about the next 'holy ****' moment non-readers will flip out on. There's certainly a few more coming this season.

-Cersei and Jaime ******* over Joffery's rotting corpse-Battle at the Wall and Stannis' arrival-Red Viper vs the Mountain-Tyrion killing Shae and then Tywin-Lady Stoneheart

Yeah Scott, me too. Total geek weekend started with GIJoeCommunity last night and ends with Cap tomorrow and GoT Sunday. Throw in the emotional ring ceremony for the Sox this afternoon and it'll be a good four days.
